Dan Crenshaw is quickly
becoming a household name and hero among Republican voters. We should
not expect the same media fanfare that was heaped upon Texas
senate-hopeful, Beto O'Rourke, but that's not what Republican voters
look for in their candidates anyway. Republican voters look for
strength, experience and bravery—something offered by Dan Crenshaw
in healthy doses. His sense of humor and willingness to face critics,
outrage culture and SNL comedians head-on has earned him the street
credit needed to take him straight into the White House in 2024.

When the Trump era
comes to an end in either 2024 or 2020, Republicans will be looking
for a replacement. If Trump faces defeat in 2020, Republicans will
more than definitely be seeking someone who can strike the right
balance between Trump's tough, brash tactics and the calm, cool-headed
experience and grace of a war veteran and former Navy SEAL. At the
moment, no one fits the bill better than Dan Crenshaw. With the right
brand of experience, tough-talk and fearlessness, Crenshaw could
easily become the next Republican president in 2024—or later, if
Americans are not quite ready by then.

As for defining
physical characteristics, like Trump's hair, Crenshaw has a
distinctive eye-patch, unlike anything we have seen in Congress or
American politics. It symbolizes years of service and sacrifice made
for his country, while adding a strong, rough accent to his
Republican demeanor. Instead of opting for a creepy glass eye that
stares blankly in one direction without moving, Crenshaw opted for a
patch—which will make him stand out for a long time to come. He
will be the butt of jokes as much as he will be the talk and praise
of Washington. The jokes, however, will be like grenades that bounce
back to destroy those who hurl them. Media will soon realize that
Crenshaw benefits from a military-grade, bulletproof armor unlike
anything they have seen before.

But what else makes Dan
Crenshaw the next Republican superhero?

He Speaks
Near-Perfect Spanish

As a child, Crenshaw
spent time growing up in South America. He went to high school in
Columbia while his father worked in the country's booming oil
industry in the mid 1990s. While there, he became proficient in
Spanish and spent time during his 2018 Congressional race talking to
Latino Republican voters in Spanish and encouraging a “reset in
relations” with Mexico—while still supporting Trump's agenda on
building a wall and securing the borders.

Even on immigration
policy, Crenshaw strikes a balance that seems less hostile and more
sensible. If he could carry his message in Spanish, Republicans could
have a true immigration reformer in the White House with an agenda
supported by native-born American Latinos and legal Mexican
immigrants.

He Is Educated

Crenshaw attended the
Kennedy School Of Government at Harvard. Many notable and influential
leaders have graduated from the same school, including Gerry
Connolly, Alan Grayson, Jack Reed, Bill O'Reilly and former chairman
of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volker.

To make it matter more,
Crenshaw also speaks well and offers much of the same rhetorical
style as academic elitists on the left, like Barack Obama. Even with
his one eye, Crenshaw has no problem reading a perfectly prepared
script from a teleprompter, as exhibited in his SNL skit. Off the
cuff, he has the vocabulary and rhetorical skill to match some of
America's best and most respected presidents.

He Is A Real Hero

Dan Crenshaw lost his
eye when an IED exploded in front of him in Afghanistan and killed
his Arabic interpreter. After that, he went to join US forces in
South Korea to protect the country from the North in 2012 and 2013.
There was no stopping Dan Crenshaw during his distinguished military
career.

As a Navy SEAL, he
earned a Purple Heart and two Bronze Star medals. The Bronze Star is
awarded to soldiers, members of the military and those who work with
the military and who show heroic courage in combat zones. Writer
Ernest Hemingway also received a Bronze Star in 1947 for putting
himself in danger inside active warzones during World War II so he
could tell an accurate story.

The most important part
of Crenshaw's military service is his ten-year career with the Navy
SEALS, where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was
also a member of SEAL Team Three, which does deployments to the
Middle East. This should not be confused with SEAL Team Six (or Task
Force Blue), which only conducts classified operations—including
the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden.

Democrats could never
respect the military how Republicans do, which is why Republicans
hold the monopoly on service vets and military servicemen. Dan
Crenshaw gives Republicans what they need when it comes to attracting
the votes of America's one million servicemen and women.

He Has Experience

Above all, Crenshaw
offers real leadership from his years in the Navy SEALS and as a
Lieutenant Commander. What better person for the job of
Commander-In-Chief than a man who served as a Lieutenant Commander in
the US Navy?

He has a masters in
public policy and wrote all of his own policy positions while at
Harvard. Crenshaw also has Congressional experience from working as
an assistant to Texas Republican Peter Sessions, who is the former
chair of the House Rules Committee. Sessions was defeated in the
mid-terms by Democrat Colin Allred, but Crenshaw is now a
Congressman.

Without a doubt, Dan
Crenshaw's upcoming years in Congress will add to his already
impressive resume. By 2023, he should have built a name for himself
and climbed the ranks of the Republican Party with a solid voting
record, witty and effective media appearances and a trove of good
policy positions. By 2024, donors will be lined up and his campaign
for the presidency should be well on its way after a successful GOP
primary.
